A first pattern associated with a performer may be recognized based upon visual information. A sensor carried by an unmanned aerial vehicle may be configured to generate output signals conveying the visual information. A first distance may be determined between the first pattern and the unmanned aerial vehicle. A second pattern associated with a performee may be recognized based upon the visual information. A second distance may be determined between the second pattern and the unmanned aerial vehicle. Flight control may be adjusted based upon the first distance and the second distance. A flight control subsystem may be configured to provide the flight control for the unmanned aerial vehicle.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the flight control is provided such that any of the target altitude differential, a target cardinal direction, and the target distance is maintained between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the second object based on the first position and the second position.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein providing the flight control includes controlling any of an altitude, a longitude, a latitude, a geographical location, a heading, and a speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the visual information is a video frame of a video segment.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the flight control is provided such that any of the target altitude differential, a target cardinal direction, and the target distance is adjusted between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the second object based on the gestures associated with the first object.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the flight control is provided such that the unmanned aerial vehicle being positioned for the image sensor to capture the visual information includes repositioning the unmanned aerial vehicle from an original position to a new position.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the flight control is provided such that any of the target altitude differential, a target cardinal direction, and the target distance is adjusted between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the first object based on the gestures associated with the first object.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein the flight control is provided such that any of the target altitude differential, a target cardinal direction, and the target distance is maintained between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the second object based on the first position and the second position.
12. The method of claim 10, wherein providing the flight control includes controlling any of an altitude, a longitude, a latitude, a geographical location, a heading, and a speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
14. The method of claim 10, wherein the flight control is provided such that any of the target altitude differential, a target cardinal direction, and the target distance is adjusted between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the second object based on the gestures associated with the first object.
15. The method of claim 10, wherein the flight control is provided such that any of the target altitude differential, a target cardinal direction, and the target distance is adjusted between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the first object based on the gestures associated with the first object.
16. The method of claim 10, wherein the flight control is provided such that the unmanned aerial vehicle being positioned to capture the visual information includes repositioning the unmanned aerial vehicle from an original position to a new position.
18. The method of claim 17, further comprising adjusting a target altitude differential based upon an interpretation of the gestures from the first object.
19. The method of claim 17, further comprising tracking a particular object or person instead of the first object based on interpreting the gestures from the first object.
20. The method of claim 17, wherein a gesture recognition component recognizes and interprets the gestures from the first object in real time.
